    if inflation were 0% for a few decades

    “You obviously know nothing of how the real world works.”

    Was going to type a whole bullshit essay with random made up stats and facts to make your idle question look malicious and uninformed, but I just cant be arsed. Can we just pretend I was a cunt for mild chuckles?

      I got the same macroeconomics education as a lot of people. I get why 2% inflation is a common target. I do, however, like thought experiments using extreme values.

      I wouldn’t say it’s a particularly idle question by social media standards. Admittedly, that’s a pretty low bar. Perhaps I am uniformed. I’m definitely not being malicious.
